    Front Tan Leather Seats

    I took my front seats out of my truck and want to sell them, they are nearly perfect, I'll post some pics later. I put some caddy escalade seats in because they have a taller back and feel better. I'll try to post some pics later, I'd like 300 and they need picked up in Kentucky. I had them...

    AC defrost all the time

    I am having a little trouble with the 1997 k1500 air, it only blows defrost no matter what setting you have, and nothing comes out any other vents. I changed the hear control panel with a known good used one out of dads truck, it did nothing. I have checked the fuses but it seems there is no...

    Front CV Axle

    My front cv boot is busted, and online they show 2 different lengths. Is there a way to know which one I need, I would rather not pull it without a new one to stick back in. Its a 1997 k1500 with everything stock. Thanks.

    K1500 Torsion Bars under Escalade

    Well, thought I would share this, and I can post a finished picture later on if anyone needs to see one. My dad hated the way his Escalade rode, it would kinda roll around a lot, unlike his K1500. I pulled the torsion bars out and measured them, they were smaller in diameter than a K1500 torsion...

    k2500 frame under k1500 truck

    I am replacing the frame in my 1997 centurion k1500 crew cab with a 1999 k2500 crew cab short bed frame. The only measurement I see different is the upper control arm brackets. Can I simply bolt on a K2500 upper control arm and put in a 1/2 ton ball joint in it? Last time I swapped one of these...

    Escalade

    Weird issue here, when I am in park and press the door lock button on either front doors I get a ding ding ding as long as I hold it down. What should I even check for? The unlock seems to work fine, the door fob does not work at all. I do have a front passenger speed sensor C0221 code showing...

    Steering gear pitman seal

    I have searched and read some about this, and even found a borg warner article that said to change the seal the following way. Remove pitman arm, remove snap ring. Start truck, turn wheel and let the pressure blow the seal, replace seal. Does this work, I bought the timken seals, washers, and...

    Timing Cover

    I didn't check the timing cover I was putting on a 99 vortec 5.7 in a caddy, looked and it had holes. Put the harmonic balancer, pulley, water pump, oil pan, and looked and the Pioneer cover didn't have a threaded brass insert, just a bare plastic hole. What should I do, I hate to take it all...

    Escalade Steering Column in 1997 K1500

    I sold my escalade, but have a small window of time to swap some of the stuff I want into my truck. I would like to swap the shift lever and the larger key/tan trim. I'm sure my 1997 key won't work on the escalade but it looks like it might work the other way around, can I put the escalade lock...

    Escalade Interior

    Seats, center console, and door panels. $500 located in Means KY, pick up only. They are actually in pretty good shape, drivers seat just has a couple little holes but a new cover would fix it up. The center console does have the cupholder that needs the tabs repaired on the console like they...

    Wiper arm orientation

    I was just reading and noticed a post that said they wiper arms on the gmt400's are not the same from left to right. I looked it up and they show different part numbers for the left and the right, my question is, how can you tell by looking at your old ones? They look the same to me and I always...

    Stuck Front Axle

    I am trying to change the front differential axle bearings on a 1997 k1500 and can't get the drivers side axle to pull out. I have the differential out and have pulled with a slide hammer and I am having no luck. Anybody have any good ideas on how to get it out? The passenger side came out easy.

    ELM327 1997 Silverado

    I've searched for a while now and can't find a solution. I have the BAFX elm 327 adapter and I can't connect to the ECM on my 1997 silverado. I can connect to my dads 1997 silverado, even set the cam retard after pulling his distributor, can watch all the live data and pull codes. It also works...

    Engine Misses above idle

    Working on a 1997 k1500 5.7, put a distributor cap and button on a 3 weeks ago because of a miss and it has ran fine until yesterday. I had pulled codes on it a couple weeks ago because I bought a new scanner that wouldn't connect to the ECM on my 1997 so I thought this would be a good one to...

    AC Question

    I have a 1997 K1500 5.7 Vortec and I noticed my A/C is warm at idle. I bought some gauges and at 80 degrees outside I get 60 degree air at the vents. My pressure on low side at idle was 42 -45 and my high side was 125. If I rev the engine up the air gets cold and the low side drops to mid 30's...

    Suburban/Crew Cab Step Bars

    Will the step bars that bolt onto the body mounts on a suburban interchange with a crew cab? I'm trying to find a used set of step bars but not sure what other vehicles I could get them off of without having to cut and weld.

    NBS+ Steering Wheel

    After reading these two posts I wish I could find a steering column shaft that I could change to allow me to use a 2005 steering wheel on my 97. The first post shows the guy putting in a much newer wheel in his 97 and the second post shows a guy put in a 2005 and how to use a single stage airbag...
